HELMET FITTING GUIDE

[1] MEASURE YOUR HEAD

Determine the circumference of the widest part of your head by wrapping a flexible tape measure around it. Generally, the widest part of a person's head is the area 2.5cm (1") above the eyes and ears. However, we do recommend measuring a few spots above and below that area, then referring to our size tables using the greatest measurement.We also suggest that you test the fit of a helmet one size smaller and larger then what the chart recommends. No helmet can provide protection if it’s too uncomfortable to wear.

[2] WEAR THE HELMET

Helmets must fit snuggly, but not painfully tight. While holding the chinstraps outside of the helmet, pull it down over your head taking care that the chinstraps do not go up inside the helmet. A proper-fitting helmet will feel snug with fairly even pressure around the sides and top of your head. On most modern helmets, the liner is designed to be a little extra snug at first, but will break-in after several hours of riding to match the particular shape of your head.

If you are not familiar with how a helmet should fit and feel, be sure to ask for assistance from the retail store or a more experienced rider. As a rule, the helmet should not be able to move around on your head without pulling on your skin. A loose fitting helmet is not only dangerous, but may also be noisy and tiring to wear. Most people make the mistake of buying a helmet that's too large. Important: Make sure that you fasten the chinstrap securely beneath your chin when trying-on a helmet and that the helmet cannot be removed from your head when fastened in that manner.

[3] MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION

Most retail stores will not exchange helmets for another size if it’s been worn for any length of time. Take your time, try it on and wear it inside the store for several minutes. Not every brand of helmet can fit every head size and shape. If you find that you just can't get a comfortable snug fit in our helmets we suggest you try a different brand. Helmets can't provide protection if they never get put on. We would rather see you buy what’s best for your head shape and size.
